ORNAMENTING DEVICE.

Application filed June 25, 1927. Serial No. 201,318.

My invention relates to the type of ornamental devices commonly employed in millinery or as pendants 't'or chains, ear ornaments, and other articles of jewelry.

The essential objects of my inventionare strength, inexpensiveness or construction, and the successful representation of the products of nature. i

'To the above ends essentially my invention consists in such parts and in such combination of parts as tall within the scope of the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings which form part of this specification Figure l is a sideelev'ation 01 an ornament embodying my invention,

Figure 2, a section, partially in side elevation, taken on line 22 of Figure 1, and

Figure 3, a transverse section ot the same on line 33 of Figure 2.

Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the views.

In the embodiment of my invention herein shown a plurality of metallic wires 6 of various lengths have straight upper portions 7 and outwardly curved or inclined lower portions 8, the latter portions carrying ornaments 9, in this instance pear shaped or elongated. The upper portionso t the wires are tightly bound snugly together in lateral contact with each other by a metallic tube 10. The top ends of the wires are in this instance flush with the top of the tube. To further insure that the wire portions 7 remain rigid andimmovable solder 11 is deposited in liquid form within the tube, tilling the interstices between the several wires and between the wires and the tube, thus forming a solid mass. The varying lengths of the portions 8 ot the wires enable the ornaments 9 to overlap and interengage to form a graceful cluster of relatively stationary ornaments.

A convexo concave guard plate13 comprising depending radially disposed projections 14 representing foliate ornamentation has a central circular opening 15 adapted to receive the lower end of the tube 10 to which it is in this case united by solder. This plate guard and conceals the portions of the wires intermediate the tube and uppermost ornaments 9.

When employe d as a pendant the device includes a suspension ring 17 lined by a layer of solder 18 to the tops of the tubeand the wires. 1 claim 1. in an article of the character described,

a plurality of downwardly diverging wires, a tubular member surroundmg and binding together the upp er ends of the wires, and

ornaments fixed to the free ends of the Wires.

2. 111 an article of the character described,

In an article of the character described,

a plurality of wires comprising parallel portions and diver member tightly e tions, ornaments tubular member and an attachin member.

4. In an article ing portions, a tubular mbracing the parallel porupon the ends of the diverging portions, a guard plate'up'onthe adjacent the ornaments, g ring upon the tubular of the character described,

a plurality of downwardly diverging metallicwires of various lengths, a metallic tubular member surrounding the upper ends of the wires, interengaging ornament-s fixed to the free ends of the wires, and solder within the tubular member and between the wires. 1

5. In an article of the character described,

a plurality of depending metallic wires, a metallic tubular member embracing the upper ends of the wires, ornaments upon the tube uniting the the tube, a guar oppositeends of the wires, solder within the wires to each other and to d plate upon themeinber above the ornaments, and attaching ring supported by the member. In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.

LEO WEINER.
